Hello. Breast cancer in males is not that common. What you are feeling are probably axillary lymph nodes, which can be normally enlarged also. Consult a surgeon if you are too worried regarding the swelling. Hope I helped you.
Next Steps
Reassurance and surgical consultation if required.
Health Tips
Sudden change in size and skin changes above the swelling
